Wests Tigers Head Coach Michael Maguire has updated his 19-man squad to take on the Manly-Warrinagh Sea Eagles tomorrow night for their Round 22 clash at Lottoland.

Kickoff for the match is at 7:50pm AEST as Wests Tigers look to bounce back against a Manly side coming off a defeat to the Warriors in Round 21.

Wests Tigers are forced in to a late change with Luke Garner (suspension) not available following his Judiciary hearing last night. He is replaced in the run-on side by Chris Lawrence with Chris McQueen coming on to the bench.

Josh Reynolds and Sam McIntyre remain in the squad in the reserves, with Robert Jennings dropping out to feature for the club’s Canterbury Cup side on Sunday.

Tommy Talau will become the 225th player to represent Wests Tigers when he makes his first-grade debut at centre, replacing the injured Moses Mbye (hip flexor). Benji Marshall will captain the side in Mbye's absence, while Jacob Liddle starts at hooker for the first time this season and the seventh time in his career.

Manly are unchanged with Lachlan Croker and Tevita Funa retained as reserves.

Final team lists will be confirmed one hour prior to kick-off (6:50pm, Thursday).
